Captain Kangaroo Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 My screen saver at work for the past 20 or so months has been a photo of my son, me, Dwight Smith and his son from the 2003 Spring Blue/Gold game. I got to meet his dad, who seemed to be a super-nice person. It really bugs me to see him in the news again for a gun-related offense. I spoke out on his behalf after the first offense, and I will take a wait-and-see on this one. As the facts unravel, it seems there may be more to the story. Regardless...very disappointed.

UA Fan Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 Not to mention that the timing of this incident couldn't be worse...he is about to go on the free agent market having had success at TB. Now he's giving himself off the field character issues and downgrading his own value to other teams. However this will be more of a self defense excuse since some strangers were approaching him late at night (shouldn't he be home with his family at 4am?). Perhaps after the previous road rage gun incident he got the BB gun to show in self defense if needed thinking it wouldn't get him in as much trouble as a "real" gun. I don't think packing a BB gun is illegal but of course you're not allowed to threaten someone with it. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Dwight will never have to worry whether or not he has enough money for gun pellets: Mar 7 Jay Glazer, of FOX Sports, reports the New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms with free agent S Dwight Smith (Buccaneers) on a five-year deal believed to be worth $15 million, including a signing bonus in the $3.5 million range.

Good catch CK. I wonder who the other "heavy courtships" were with. He did alright but it's hard to get too excited about the Aints. From Fox: Smith had tremendous interest as free agency began to approach but an incident two weeks ago in which Smith was arrested for brandishing a pellet gun severely hurt his stock. However, despite the trouble Smith is an extremely valuable defensive back who can play safety or cornerback effectively. In addition, he brings a tough attitude that others on the Bucs respected. Smith has played in all but one game during his four-year career and has picked off 12 passes over the previous three seasons. During his rookie year he even returned 16 kicks for a 22-yard average. Last season according to NFL.com stats he had an impressive 83 tackles. Smith had interest from several teams but his recent arrest curtailed heavy courtships. However, the Saints investigated the incident and showed enough faith in Smith to bring him into the fold. Quote
